A white flowered Angel's Trumpet, known for its large trumpet-like flowers which can grow to a foot. A striking plant when in bloom---and the plant usually is in bloom!
Description: Bushy tree, generally to 6-12ft. The white flowers can appear throughout the year, though more heavily in warmer months. Flowers are followed by skinny, greenish fruits which ripen to green-yellow. The fruits are inedible and poisonous. Extracts from the plant are also considered highly poisonous.
